Chapter 316 Overall Planning

I thought it was just an ordinary class, an ordinary cave.

But it unexpectedly made the true knowledge rhyme move, as if it had sensed something special, but it was unclear.

"Why...?" Li Qi had some doubts in his heart.

Is it because of this cave? This feeling made him a little confused.

It was similar to the situation when he encountered the second ray of true knowledge, that is, the true knowledge sensed something very important.

But this time it was just a little reaction, not as intense as last time.

Then, maybe I have to be more serious.

The teacher said before that if I failed this class, I would not have to come in the future, so I must pass it.

Put aside those strange feelings first, concentrate on the exam, and talk about it after the exam.

Then, Li Qi looked at the number of people recorded in the cave.

5,000 regular soldiers, 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 30,000 civilians.

Fortunately, they are all integers.

But... these soldiers are all living people?

What's going on?

Li Qi cast his eyes on his soldiers, he could feel that these people had fresh lives and souls.

It's just... they are not human, but some kind of humanoid race.

Covered with scales, they faintly exude some...

Dragon Qi?

Li Qi couldn't say.

It was completely different from the aura of a real dragon, but it had a bit of that smell.

What is the human doing? What kind of thing is this?

Looking more carefully, in addition to the scales on the bodies of these soldiers, their eyes were also vertical pupils, and they were ten feet tall per person, very burly.

All the regular soldiers were of the ninth rank, but there seemed to be no grassroots officers, only one person similar to a deputy general, but he was also of the ninth rank.

This deputy general was stronger than the others, but not to the level of the eighth rank.

The rest of the auxiliary soldiers all had cultivation, and there was a centurion for every hundred people, and the centurion was of the ninth rank.

The remaining civilians all practiced simple skills, and occasionally some of them could reach the level of auxiliary soldiers. Everyone was estimated to have a strength of more than 600 to 700 kilograms.

When Li Qi landed on the ground, he saw these soldiers kneeling on one knee immediately: "Greetings, General!"

The voice was lively, and the breath of the soul could be felt.

They were indeed living people.

It seems that the people who live in this cave... exist only for the students of the Imperial Academy to learn the art of war.

Li Qi felt a little uncomfortable.

He had experienced the strength of humanity and the convenience of being a human in humanity.

But he could not get used to this kind of thing anyway.

All these conveniences and strengths are based on a large number of consumables, just like fuel.

It is the continuous burning of these fuels that has been keeping the huge machine of humanity running.

This is the case with monsters, and also with these soldiers of unknown races in front of him.

This is the fundamental logic of humanity.

All things in the world exist for humans. Humans not only dominate all things, but also the value of all things in the world. Humans are the essence and core of the world.

Nature is generated by humans and is the product of human activities. The objective world belongs to humans. If there is something that does not belong to humans now, it will definitely belong to humans in the future.

The mineral veins generated underground are naturally meant to be mined by humans.

Wild boars, wild cattle, wild sheep, etc., should be kept in captivity. If not, they should be domesticated to the point where they can be kept in captivity.

The fur on animals grows for human fur, not for their own warmth.

Everything is useless if it cannot be used by humans.

This is humanity.

Even Li Qi himself has some of these characteristics.

After practicing Wu Dao, he realized one thing: "Milk should be drunk by cows."

Before, Li Qi always subconsciously thought that milk should be drunk by humans. Milk is a commodity placed in supermarkets waiting for people to buy, used to supplement calcium, help sleep, and make facial masks.

He never thought that milk is actually food for calves, and should be eaten by newly born calves.

This subtle influence on concepts is the arrangement of Tao for the world.

In any case, Li Qi finds it difficult to accept the worldview of humanity, but unfortunately there is no way. This is not something he can decide whether he likes it or not.

In the eyes of Wu Dao, milk has its own position, that is, the position of "food for calves", so there is no need to break its natural position.

This breaking does not mean that people cannot drink it, but that milk is completely changed from being drunk by calves to being drunk by humans.

This behavior is to fundamentally change the position of an object and completely tamper with its meaning of existence. Wudao believes that this will disrupt the already perfect world and destroy "nature".

Nature is not flowers and plants, but all things in the universe from ancient times to the present.

Understanding this difference again, Li Qi even felt that the small world of human body was a little sluggish.

The dispute between man and witch began to be a little fierce.

He closed his eyes and silently recited the motto in his heart: "The source of the great way, its source is very true, nothing is not received, nothing is not accepted, nothing is not measured, it is broad and boundless, and it is fine and deep, so it is said that it is connected to one, and everything is done..."

He was trying to reconcile the two sides with the way of Taoism.

Existence is reasonable, nothing is not received, nothing is not accepted, and nothing is not measured. People and witches are just different choices... The great way cannot be described, all of these are included in the great way, and there is actually no conflict in essence...

While trying to calm down the riot in his body, Li Qi said to the people around him: "Everyone, please stand up and tell me the specific situation. What do you think you should know?"

The soldiers all stood up.

The leading lieutenant general came forward and handed over to Li Qi: "General, I have received God's decree and come to obey the general's order. However, the baggage, grain, grass and other items... still need to be prepared by the general."

"Well, I already know the number of you, but how much do you eat? How much food do you need per day?" Li Qi nodded and then asked.

This might not be the first time that the deputy general came. When he heard Li Qi's question, he immediately handed over a silk letter.

Li Qi took it and found that the writing on it was very clear.

To maintain sufficient combat effectiveness for five thousand regular soldiers, each person needs ten kilograms of refined grain, two kilograms of meat, and half a tael of salt a day.

If you need to practice, you need not only meat, but also enough spiritual food to replenish your inner energy.

If you want to maintain an elite soldier, you need to train every three days at the most. If you just want to hang it to prevent the combat effectiveness from falling too much, then you need to train every ten days.

If it is wartime and a large amount of internal energy is consumed, the spiritual supplies needed by the regular soldiers may even reach the level of at least ten strands of internal energy per person per day.

Ten thousand auxiliary soldiers are required at half the cost, but if training is required, the consumption will also increase, and the same is true in wartime.

As long as the people are not hungry, two or three kilograms of food a day is almost enough. But if the people need to do heavy work or travel long distances, they will eat more, and sometimes even double it.

But meat and spiritual things need not be prepared for them.

But if you work without being fed, non-combat attrition may occur.

In addition, there is a lot of data, to name a few.

For example, the civilian husband's weight, movement speed, etc.

Because if there are too few people and too much food among the people sent out to transport food, the speed will slow down. After the slowdown, more time will be consumed, which is equivalent to consuming more food.

But if more people are added, more food will be eaten. What is the optimal solution?

To maintain combat effectiveness, should we conduct drills every three days or every ten days?

Looking at it this way, the pre-war preparations for the march and the storage of baggage are really a technical job.

This is not just a simple arithmetic, but the optimization of a complete set of overall planning algorithms.

How to achieve the optimal solution is an important lesson for military strategists!

It is not just a problem that you are asked to solve, but many problems, integrated into a practical problem, and then you are asked to find the optimal solution.

Even if it is not the optimal solution, it must be above the passing line to ensure that "the army is raised and the territory is not poor", which leads to "the army is victorious but the country is defeated".

After Li Qi read it, he pondered for a moment, then looked at the deputy general and said, "I've seen the consumption, but where should this baggage be allocated? Where do the resources come from?"

The deputy general immediately presented another silk letter and said to Li Qi: "General Mingjian, this is a good map of our country. Special products, taxation, and granaries are all in it. I just hope that the general will deploy it appropriately. If a certain place is forced to requisition If it is too much, it may provoke civil unrest and the gain will be greater than the loss.”

Hearing this, Li Qi took the silk book from the other party's hand and read it again.

However, they discovered that there was a map drawn on it, depicting a country divided into more than a dozen states. Each state had different specialties and a different population. Strong men could also be forcibly recruited at critical moments, but doing so would inevitably cause turmoil in the people's livelihood.

Li Qi discovered that the population here was surprisingly small.

There are less than one million people in more than a dozen states, which means there are only tens of thousands in one state.

Li Qi looked carefully and saw that the scale was quite outrageous.

This cave is huge.

It is only six to seven hundred miles in length and breadth, and Li Qi can travel back and forth in just a few hours. The so-called "state" is actually not much different from the county seat in Baiyue, and it is not enough to qualify as a country.

There are tens of thousands of people in one state, and the overall population is barely one million. How could such a cave cultivate so many ninth-grade people?

Li Qi's focus was different from others. He did not immediately look at special products, money and grain, but paid attention to the population ratio.

This is just a ninth-grade cave, which means that the strongest person who can be born here is only a ninth-grade one.

Therefore, among those regular soldiers, there is not even an eighth-grade soldier.

But... there are nine grades of five to six thousand.

In other words, assuming that here are all the ninth-grade people in this cave, then there will be one ninth-grade person among about 20,000 people.

For a ninth-grade world, what a terrifying ninth-grade ratio is this?

Even in the world, the ninth grade is one of the best in a thousand. In the ninth grade world, it would be good to have one in a world.

Back then, in the Earthly Oil World, there were hundreds of millions of people, and there were only two ninth-level people, and they all followed the evil ways of human nature.

This is wrong. What has humanity done in this world?

Li Qi frowned and asked, "How many people of your level are there in your hometown?"

The deputy general was slightly surprised when he heard this.

No general had ever asked such a question.

However, his long-term obedience made him immediately answer: "We have reached the top level, so naturally we are the strongest among the strong, and we are all one in a million."

"It's just that the remaining people have to guard their hometowns. If the general wants to force them to join the army, I'm afraid it will leave the rear empty and increase the logistical burden."

The lieutenant said cautiously, fearing that the new general was planning to forcefully recruit others.

Generals have done this before.

Li Qi didn't care about this, but silently touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

The ninth rank is one in ten thousand, that is to say, there are ten thousand ninth rank among the one million people in this country!

What a joke!

In the big cities of the world, the ninth rank is only one in a thousand.

What is the virtue and ability of this ninth rank world! ?

There must be something strange, or are they just actors? In fact, they are all transferred from the outside world?

Not like.

The eyes and gazes of these people are those of the natives.

"Practice your skills for me." Thinking about this, Li Qi raised his head and said to the deputy general.

"General... time is urgent, we only have one hour to make a plan... If the plan is not in time, I'm afraid-" The deputy general was a little anxious.

"I'm planning, I'll let you practice the skills." Li Qi emphasized again.

The deputy general had no choice but to practice the skills.

I just hope that this general is not too unreliable.

If it is unreliable... I'm afraid this country will not be able to escape the disaster of war.

As he began to practice the skills, Li Qi also began his own deduction.

What to deduce?

Of course, the objective function!

Isn't this a multi-objective function problem?

First draw a function graph, solve the optimal solution of each single-objective problem, take the optimal solution of all single-objective problems as the expected value, and find the point closest to the expected solution in the feasible domain as the optimal solution of the multi-objective optimization problem.

It looks complicated, with many variables and many things to suppress, but in fact, there is only one thing to do in operation:

'Select "collecting military supplies without affecting stability" as the main goal from the multi-objectives according to the importance, and then convert other goals into constraints. '

Then, the multi-objective optimization problem can be converted into a single-objective problem.

As long as a reasonable and relatively important target weight coefficient is set, and then it is brought into the multi-objective function... the problem will be solved.

As I said, this kind of thing tests the counting method.

Sorry, Li Qi's mathematics foundation is actually quite good.

While watching the deputy general practice the skills, derive the calculation function to see how to get the optimal solution for collecting military supplies.

One hour?

More than enough.

——————————

On the other side of the desk, Li Lieqi was eager to lead a group of soldiers who looked like barbarians.

She was familiar with the matter of raising military rations. In fact, in order to let her gain experience, her family had sent her to the ninth-grade world to lead troops to fight and experience the military.

Raising military rations and arranging supplies were not difficult for her.

She arranged things quickly and skillfully, and had already begun to encourage the army:

"According to what you said, people in the south grow grains and harvest them in autumn." Li Lieqi said loudly:

"Then we northerners should also go south to harvest according to the season! They are the grains we grow!"
